Author Notes: The pan bagnat is the sandwich version of the salad Nicoise. You can find either in various forms all over the Mediterranean coast where it is made with fresh seasonal ingredients. Here, olive oil packed canned tuna is mixed with olives, red onions, fresh herbs, and vinaigrette. The salad fills the center of a crusty French baguette. In this case "crusty" is the operative word. The bread must have a hard crust on the outside otherwise it will fall apart. Pan Bagnat literally translated is "wet bread" - the point is for the vinaigrette to soak into the bread. In my opinion, THAT is what makes this such a great sandwich. - Waverly —Waverly
Food52 Review: Pan Bagnat, literally "bathed bread," is a great solution to the brown bag lunch dilemma, and Waverly's version is pitch-perfect. A decidedly Nicoise tuna salad is pressed between two garlic and oil slicked halves of a baguette and left in the fridge overnight, which allows all of the juices to soak into the bread. We chose to include both of the optional ingredients -- crisp green beans, briny artichoke hearts -- and were glad we did. The resulting sandwich was a glorious riot of colors, flavors and textures. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 2, but multiplies easily
Prep time: 8 hrs 10 min
loaf crusty French baguette
clove garlic, cut in half
to 6 basil leaves
(6oz) can tuna
cup Nicoise or Kalamata olives, sliced
cup red bell pepper, seeded and sliced thin
small red onion, finely chopped
cup Italian flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
jar or can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (optional)
cup blanched French green beans, sliced into thirds (optional)
tablespoons fresh lemon juice
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- PREP THE BREAD: Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Remove some of the insides of the bottom half to create a trough into which the filling will go. Brush both halves with a little extra virgin olive oil. Rub each with the garlic. Line the half with the trough with the basil leaves.
- MIX THE SALAD: In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, olives, red bell pepper, onion, parsley, artichoke hearts (if using) and green beans (if using). In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the lemon juice into the olive oil until it is emulsified/combined. Pour the vinaigrette into the tuna mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
- ASSEMBLE: Spoon tuna mixture into the trough of the baguette over the basil leaves. Wrap sandwich well in plastic. Crush it down by placing a brick or heavy cast iron skillet and refrigerate, preferably with the weight, overnight.
- SERVE: In the morning, cut sandwich in half. Enjoy for lunch at home or wrap in foil and brown bag it (use a lunch box that will keep the sandwich chilled). Serve with cubes of feta cheese and a tart Granny Smith apple.

Battle of Gettysburg at a glance
The Battle of Gettysburg was the bloodiest and most pivotal battle of the American Civil War and it decisively turned the war in the Union favor.
The seemingly invincible Confederate Army of Northern Virginia would never be as strong, nor would they attempt to invade the north again for the remainder of the war.
The Union Army of the Potomac would finally gain respect in the eyes of all and would fight with a renewed passion and vigor.
The little town of Gettysburg and its residents saw 160,000 men from both sides converge and clash over three bloody days from July 1-3, 1863. It still stands today as the single largest engagement ever in the western hemisphere.
The 51,000 casualties were appalling and the ferocity of the battle shook a country to its knees.
Never before had there been such a tremendous loss of life - brothers killing brothers for what both believed were the right reasons. The sacrifices were incomprehensible and repercussions of this battle would change the United States forever.

Hilary King is a character in the 3D Universe appearing as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Hilary is voiced by Charles Tucker.
Character history
Hilary King was neglected by his mother as a child and because of that he developed serious child abandonment issues. The issues later led to Hilary becoming a compulsive eater, although the Vice City Police Department believe that he had been raised in stable home. Hilary King is a neurotic and highly dependent driver who assists Tommy Vercetti during the events of GTA Vice City. Phil Cassidy points Tommy in the direction of King, as Tommy is looking for a getaway driver for his bank heist. After beating Hilary (in his Sabre Turbo) in a street race, King agrees to work for Tommy. However, when the heist takes place he arrives late to pick up Tommy, Phil and Cam. Tommy, Phil and Cam enter the bank, and Hilary is told to circle the block.
Hilary attempts to help Tommy and the rest of the team when he pulls the getaway taxi up between the SWAT Trucks and the front of the bank. Hilary exits the car and starts shooting at SWAT trying to give time for the others to get in, but before they do he is gunned down on the side of the street in front of the bank. At this point Tommy, Phil and Cam head to the taxi, Cam can be killed by SWAT, or he can successfuly enter the car and escape with Tommy and Phil to the safehouse.

Most couples building a wedding list still say "we do" love beautiful tableware and cutlery - after all, these gifts will be useful for a lifetime.
Sensible food processors and mixers are also still going strong as present list 'must-have' items at John Lewis.
These bestselling lines are often timeless classics so they deserve their place at the heart of newlyweds' kitchens.
But there's also room for more unusual presents, that will bring lasting stylishness to a home.
"Today's bijou living dictates couples' choices, and brides and grooms enjoy a sense of individuality combined with practicality," says the wedding list consultant at Wedding Presents Direct.
"Modern couples are savvy when it comes to choosing their wedding list. They know which brands they like and spend lots of time researching styles and themes."
Indeed, according to Wedding Presents Direct, vibrant china, decorative lamps and cut crystal are high on the list for couples this spring.
Meanwhile, John Lewis predicts that their own-label Luna tableware and Connoisseur glassware ranges will be really prominent.
To crown the big day, here are some stylish suggestions to furnish the home - and remember, those in the know advise newlyweds-to-be not to underestimate how generous some guests are when devising their lists!
The Big Day isn't about the gifts, of course, but chances are you'll be showered with presents and will need to order stacks of thank you cards.

These are some mathematics investigations I have pursued over the years. They may be of some interest to teachers, students, or hobbyists. I try to convey a conceptual understanding, usually without rigorous proof. Some of the lessons are accompanied by questions and suggestions for extensions.
In my pursuit of a teaching career, I was told to justify the study of each concept by establishing its relevance to the students lives. Sorry, but I still have trouble buying into that one. Fortunately, poetry and music are rarely put to that same test. As I glance at the list below, I must concede that it would be difficult to convert any of the lessons into food, shelter, or money. These are things that interested me, and now I understand them better. If there is a reward, it is the fact that every time I do this I get better at figuring things out.
I occasionally get email from people seeking permission to use my work. Feel free to cite, quote, edit, reproduce, or distribute anything on this site. Do not worry about putting my name on it, but please do not put your own name on it.
Many of these presentations use the Geometers Sketchpad, but only one of them actually requires it. If you do not have the software, let me suggest that you follow this link to Key Curriculum Press and look into it.

The Brachistochrone
We are given two fixed points in a vertical plane. A particle starts from rest at one of the points and travels to the other under its own weight. Find the path that the particle must follow in order to reach its destination in the briefest time.
This is a famous problem in the calculus of variations. Nothing new is presented here, but the explanation is more thorough than most.
An old probability exercise is aided by an interactive Sketchpad file. By manipulating the sketch, an intuitive understanding may be gained, even if the student has had no introduction to calculus.
Chinese Handcuffs This has no lesson, only questions. It is just an interesting animated file, which invites student investigation. It has applications for geometry,
My emphasis is on geometric properties of the conic sections, particulary understanding that has been handed down to us in ancient texts. There also are some challenging constructions.
This used to be my job, and I enjoyed studying all of the geometrical concepts that were part of the science of land surveying. In this article I discuss the instruments of the profession, their operating principles, their error, and their calibration.
An investigation into the catenary, the curve formed by a chain suspended at both ends. It also extends into the curve of the main cables on a suspension bridge, which, interestingly, is not a catenary.
If you have never studied inversion geometry, you can start here. The elementary concepts are explained. This page is a quick reference for the other lessons that employ inversion geometry.
Draw a line segment. Did you use a straightedge? How do you know it was straight?
Java simulations are used to investigate a nineteenth century mechanics problem.
The challenge: Given four arbitrary, unique points, A, B, C, and D, construct one line through each point such that the four lines form a square.
A planimeter is a drafting instrument used to measure area. Its mechanism is quite simple, but understanding why it works is more elusive.
Find the inradius, circumradius, dihedral angle, surface area, and volume of all of the Platonic solids. There is also some information about some of their other interesting properties.
It is not a circle, but it has constant width. Study the properties of this figure with interactive animated sketches.
How is that for a descriptive title? Here are investigations of two interesting visual effects seen from a moving automobile. It includes two interactive perspective drawings, and a discussion of the cylindrical and planar projections used to create them.
An interesting accidental discovery – Investigate ellipses by tracing triangle transformations.
Explore geometric patterns formed in a table of modular multiplication. This one requires some elementary knowledge of congruence classes and modular arithmetic.
Three circles are given. How many circles can be constructed tangent to all three? How are they constructed? This lesson includes ten animations covering all of the special cases. Some of them are very complex. A little knowledge of circle inversions would help.
It is plain to see that I am very fond of Sketchpad. This page was created after the release of version 4. The idea is to have a place to exchange ideas with other users, especially those who are using the advanced features. Here are some custom tools and some information on Java Sketchpad.
Thirteen elementary straightedge
and compass constructions are described and illustrated. The original version, in Word format, can be downloaded and distributed.

Bay Weekly commemorates the War of 1812 bicentennial with a look at this week in history.
Bay Weekly commemorates the War of 1812 bicentennial with a look at this week in history
By June 23 of 1812, the United States of America was at war with Great Britain. Though neither nation was aching for a fight, trade disputes, Britain's support of Native American rebellion and the forceful conscription of Americans into the British Navy pushed the old and new nations to an impasse.
But this week 200 years ago, America flirted with the idea of suspending its six-day-old war. News reached our shores that Prime Minister Spencer Perceval had been assassinated May 11 on the steps of Parliament. Perceval had been steadfast in upholding restrictions on American trade, in spite of growing hostility. With a new administration, perhaps the Orders in Council restrictions could be lifted and both parties could walk away.
New Prime Minister Robert Jenkins, Lord Liverpool, tried to extend an olive branch. Britain's June 23 repeal of trade restrictions would have allowed both parties to walk away from the conflict — if both parties had known about it.
But news traveled slowly.
It would take three more weeks for Madison to learn that America had won trading rights. By that time impressment — forcing American sailors to serve the British Navy — had become a hot-button issue in the press, eclipsing the Orders in Council victory. The olive branch was rejected, and both countries continued the march toward war.
This week's source: George C. Daughan's 1812: The Navy's War.

Power, not just technique, helps Spack win region
ALTOONA — When Punxsy junior Seth Spack fell shy of a second-straight District IX Class AAA Individual Wrestling Championship Feb. 26 in Clarion, his family was disheartened.
But Spack quickly quelled their upset feelings, knowing that Saturday's Northwest Region Class AAA Tournament was yet to be decided and the district tournament wouldn't affect his ability to reach states.
"The whole last week, my family was down. But I don't get mad when I lose, because everybody loses," the ever-positive Spack said. "I told them, 'Don't worry, I'm winning regionals.'"
Spack backed up his forward-thinking talk by not only clinching his second-straight berth into the state tournament, but also winning the 135-pound championship Saturday.
The win came a year after Spack shocked the district by upsetting then-senior T.J. Stanton in the 112-pound district final. Spack then carried that momentum into the regional final, where he lost by a 14-1 major decision to Bellefonte's Thomas Traxler.
Even though he would still have a chance to wrestle at states a week later as the regional runner-up, Spack said Saturday that he was pestered about the defeat to Traxler immediately after it occurred.
"It was kind of embarrassing. I felt like I shouldn't have even been able to go to states," Spack said. "This year, it's much better."
Spack had nothing to feel ashamed about at this year's regional tournament, as he turned his endless amount of technique and potential into an undefeated four matches. He first edged Titusville freshman Ehrin Lee, 4-1, before upsetting District VI champion and Central Mountain junior Dillon Gavlock, who, at 30-10, was widely considered the 135-pound favorite.
Spack led 1-0 in the first round when he dodged a Gavlock shot and used an overhook to power Gavlock to his back. Moments later, Spack had a fall in 3:03 and was headed to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, he scored the first takedown and wrestled a conservative match from there, earning a 4-2 victory that earned him a state tournament berth.
But much like his teammate, senior Kody Young, Spack saved his best for last. After trailing Cathedral Prep senior Michael McBryde in the final, 2-0, Spack took control.
McBryde took a 2-0 lead with a reversal 26 seconds into the second period, but Spack's escape midway through that period and reversal early in the third period pushed the bout in his favor, 3-2.
A chin pick is what helped Spack (30-6) turn the tide an ultimately put McBryde onto his back. Spack thought he had a pin wrapped up, but McBryde was in so much pain that he called for injury time. In turn, Spack received four back points to leap ahead 7-2.
After using his strength in the quarterfinals against Gavlock and the final versus McBryde, Spack suddenly became more than just a technician on the mat.
"If you didn't know either one of them, you would have picked (McBryde) to win (based on size). Seth put him on his back with a chin pick," Punxsy head coach Eric Eddy said. "I guess Seth this weekend went from being the most technical guy in our (practice) room to being a a guy that just wants to use muscle moves.
"Maybe he's hitting the weight room in his down time," he said.
Spack entered his high school career as an undersized 103-pounder. Upon wrestling at 112 last year, Spack's growth spurt arrived, and he was suddenly a regional champion at 135 pounds, something that was unthinkable just a year ago.
"I think people thought I wouldn't be able to do it," Spack said. "Last year, I looked at the 135-pounders, and they looked huge. I kind of surprised myself."
Not surprised was Punxsy coach Buddy Young, who knows just how powerful Spack has become.
"People don't know that Seth is strong. He's unassuming," Young said. "He gets in positions that he can be strong, because he doesn't use that a lot. He showed that off in the final and the quarterfinals."
After falling short at regionals his freshman year, confidence was an issue of Spack's.
Last year, he wasn't strong enough at states and finished with an 0-2 record.
This year, he's heading to states with confidence and a strong outlook.

Thank you very much !
I do have a blog, you can find the article here : http://uponathread.blogspot.fr/2013/12/wrap-coat.html.
But I didn't put lots of explanations on it.
I cut the burda pattern at the waist, I made two version of the odice, one in the fshion fabric, the other in the lining fabric.
On the lining, In cut the dart part so that i got two pieces and I made the dart part in the fashion fabric (like here http://lowpricefabric.blogspot.fr/2013/10/mimi-g-pattern-review-diy-steps.html#.UrKpmrR_uuR)
I sewed the dart part with the lining, then i joined the bodice with the lining.
After, I joined the skirt part from vogue 8379. I didn't line the skirt.

Kaitlyn-Dawn Perham - 2012 Theatre Alumna
Kaitlyn-Dawn Perham is originally from Greeley, Colorado and now resides in a small town near the capitol city of Ukraine. Perham was the 2008 recipient of the Adams State Theatre Acting Talent Scholarship and the 2011 recipient of the Paul S. and Patti Newman Scholarship.
Upon her graduation from Adams State University in 2012, with a degree in Secondary Education and Theatre, she joined the Peace Corps. She currently teaches English as a second language to primary and secondary students. She also teaches lessons about American culture and holidays, conducts two English clubs for children and an after-school tutoring program.
"As a language teacher in a foreign country, I deeply appreciate the skills I acquired during my four years with the Adams State University Theatre Company. Not only did I learn the fundamentals of acting and stage production, but I also acquired priceless lessons to use in the classroom with my students.
Teaching a foreign language to young learners requires obvious skills such as quick-thinking, improvisation, and attention-holding games performed in the classroom. However patience, listening, appreciation and adaptation are also just as crucial in the classroom.
With great thanks to my professors and peers who taught me the beauty of theatre and the art of teaching, I am now pursuing my dreams and making a difference half-way around the world."

Elections are serious stuff. Our democracy depends on them. So when someone - or some ridiculously cute four-legged animal, as the case may be - makes a mockery of an election, it's no laughing matter.
That seems to be the stance being taken by Whatcom County Auditor Debbie Adelstein, the locally elected official whose probably been asked more dog-related questions in the last few days than she'd care to remember. Faced with the increasingly popular write-in candidacy of Nyima, a Tibetan terrier that's looking to oust longtime Bellingham County Prosecutor David McEachran, Adelstein has maintained that the dog is "not a viable candidate," and that any votes cast for the pooch will not be counted.
So there.
Like all great dogs, Nyima seems to be following the directions of its master. According to reports, Frank James is a family doctor and an assistant professor at the University of Washington, and he also happens to be the man responsible for pushing Nyima has a write-in candidate. The Democrat has been frustrated by the fact that the Bellingham County Prosecutor, a Republican, hasn't had a political challenger in ten terms. As ABC News notes, James believes that "if no one ever runs against the current politician, important questions will never get talked about," and that "the strongest way to hold public officials accountable is for people to run against them."
Or, in this case, a dog.
"It's no brilliant political strategy," James tells ABC. "But a number of people have told me that they are registering to vote for my dog."
Brilliance, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. While McEachran has maintained that he's too busy with his work to comment on Nyima's candidacy, The Bellingham Herald, ABC News, KOMO, KIRO, and Jezebel (to name but a few media outlets) have picked up on Nyima's story.

The Lenovo K6 Power comes with a metal unibody design that looks gorgeous. The metal build also adds to its sturdiness.
With its compact, 12.7-cm, full HD display, the phone will feel right at home in your hand. The high pixel density further adds to its high-resolution display that's been crammed into such a small screen. So you'll get a crisp and detailed viewing experience every time.
The high-capacity 4000-mAh battery of the Lenovo K6 Power belies its compact size. It can offer up to two days of talktime with a single, complete charge. Now, your phone will almost always be there when you need it.
Battery Life
The 13-MP rear camera of the Lenovo K6 Power can capture your life's most important moments in great detail. The phase detection autofocus technology further ensures that each snap comes out nice and clear.
The Lenovo K6 Power can easily take on the task of snapping selfies at any time, thanks to its impressive, 8-MP, front-facing camera. It is a true multitasker.
Front Camera
Music lovers are going to love the Lenovo K6 Power as its dual speakers provide double the speaker output that you get with most other phones in its category. This, combined with the Dolby Atmos feature (an advanced audio technology), means that you can really get the party going.

Android phones already have voice dialing and voice search. What about voice commands? The signs say voice commands are coming, and soon. The Cupcake development branch features page includes the note "VoiceDialer supports 'open app' command". Also announced in the Android roadmap was the new Input Method Framework (IMF). The IMF supports other input methods outside of hardware keyboards such as soft keyboards (see HTC Dream). We can only speculate as to where voice commands fit into the roadmap, and where Cupcake itself fits in. It is likely that voice commands fit under the umbrella of IMF, and IMF has center stage in the first quarter '09 development.
The Cupcake source code has more detail. Voice recognition is provided by Nuance Communications(makers of Dragon NaturallySpeaking), but copyrighted under the Apache license, like most of Android. Currently, the only core application to use voice commands is the settings application, although there may be more on someone's desktop at Google, or in proprietary code.
All this is certainly not groundbreaking, but the implications go beyond everyday phone use because of the way the feature is implemented.
Some background
Most applications in Android, or pieces of applications (roughly corresponding to a single screen), are what are known as "Activities." Activities communicate with each other by way of "Intents" sort of the way web pages "communicate" by linking to each other. The Maps application, for instance, launches the phone application when you click on a business' phone number the way it would on Google maps. When one activity wants to start another, it creates an intent.
Every Android application lists the types of intents that it wants to respond to. That's why you get a dialog asking you what application you'd like to use to complete such and such action when there are two similar applications installed. It means that two applications have said that they can handle the current intent. Pushing "Home" after you install a new desktop manager will do this because both the built-in desktop manager and the new one (aHome, Open Home, dxTop) offers to handle "Home" intents.
Skip here if you don't want any technical jive. What this means is not only does the new Android include some voice commands, it allows market applications to use them too. This could open up a whole new avenue of voice activated games and applications. Applications could take pictures remotely, record voices on cue, skip calls, and more. The possibilities are endless. The best applications probably haven't been conceived of yet (as in cameras and bar code reading).
Great right?
Most people's reaction will be tempered by the reception of other Google voice recognition technologies: voice dialing, voice search, and Google Voice. The first time I used voice search on my phone, I tried to think of the most common, yet distinctive, and therefore easiest search possible so I said, very clearly, AVVRIILL LAAVVVIIGNE . I got "Emerald Limousine."
Aside from taking you in interesting new avenues, and giving you the occasional chuckle, it's not very useful. Obviously, until it gets easier than typing a search, most people won't use it.
But this is not voice recognition, it's voice command. The application doesn't need to differentiate amongst every word in its dictionary, it just needs to know if you said, "Pawn to a5" or "Queen to c6." "Pawn" and "Queen" are very different words. "Pawn," "Prawn," and "Palm" are not, and you could be searching for any of them, or any of the billions of other possible searches.
The same goes for voicemail transcription from Google Voice.
However, in our forthcoming, perfect, Cupcake universe, we can expect to glance at a call from across our desks and say, "No," to make it go to voicemail. Or "skip!" when the newest Emerald Limousine single comes on imeem.
Of course, it's hard to say whether or not Android voice recognition will be optimized to voice commands. Will the application be able to choose which words it wants the voice recognition engine to differentiate? Will the user be able to create their own dictionary or use their custom spell check dictionary? This, and many other questions, will only be answered by the actual release of Cupcake on a production phone. Even if something exists in the code today, it could be gone tomorrow, or not integrated into the new phone where developers can make use of it.
Fortunately, in this case, the cupcake's trajectory is looking pretty good.

The Abstract Grasses project started as an experiment in more conceptual photography. A piece of Barley grass and various natural abstract backgrounds all found either in my back garden or in nearby parks and nature reserves.
Most of the images were created in camera using single or multiple exposures. More recent images have taken this further and used Photoshop and Lightroom to combine more exposures, in part to compensate for the two shots in a Multiple Exposure limitation with my Fuji X-T1, but also to keep exploring possibilities.
The pretty coloured houses on the island of Burano in the Venice Lagoon provide a wealth of photographic opportunity. Traditionally you see views of rows of houses all painted in bright contrasting colours.
For this series, I went closer exploring the textures of the crumbling paint and the, sometimes, extreme colour contrasts between neighbouring houses. Walking the quiet streets away from the tourists allowed the chance to explore in depth.
All images were shot with a Fuji X-T1 and a Fujifilm 14mm f/2.8.
Seeing deeper into the Landscape has been a theme over the last two to three years. Rather than the perhaps more tradition, foreground, water, sky images that typify landscape, I have attempted to get inside the view.
Looking at a flat plane of water and seeing a depth of dimension which can be simple or abstracted has allowed a me to explore shallow depth.
Images shot with a Fuji X-T1, an Olympus OM-D EM1, and a Canon 5D Mk III
Dragonfly hunting can be hugely unrewarding. Many of them fly around for hours and never rest.
